Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for developing a system architecture that involves defining resource constraints for kinds of resources and constraint values for optimization parameters, and defining a design space as variants, where each variant is a vector. Satisfying sets of variants are determined for optimization parameters by assigning membership values to each variant of a universe of discourse set and performing a fuzzy search of a universe of discourse set using the corresponding membership values. A set of variants is determined based on an intersection of the satisfying sets of variants. An ordered list of variants is generated by sorting the set of variants and a variant is selected based on a position of the variant in the ordered list for use in developing the system architecture.

Abstract: Described embodiments relate to methods, systems and computer readable medium for developing a system architecture. Resources constraints are defined, where each resource constraint corresponds to a maximum number of a each kind of resources available to construct the system architecture. Constraint values for each of at least three optimization parameters are defined, which includes a final optimization parameter. A design space is defined as a plurality of vectors representing different combinations of a number of each kind of resource available to construct the system architecture. For each of the plurality of optimization parameters, a priority factor function is defined. A plurality of satisfying sets of vectors is determined for each of the optimization parameters except for the final optimization parameter. A set of vectors is determined based on an intersection of the plurality of satisfying sets of vectors for the optimization parameters.

Abstract: A series of polyethylene glycol derivatives possessing a diene moiety has been prepared and characterized. The reactivities of these derivatives in various Diels-Alder reactions have been demonstrated. The potential derivatives, which can be made by various Diels-Alder reactions, are expected to be useful in biotechnical applications.
